LOVE IDIOT

-


Remember how crazy you were *to love*, 

You stayed up all night wishing for the stars,

Cuddling and rolling through the sheets,

Praying for an angel. 


Now you know better;

To love is to inflict yourself with needles.

To pierce your skin and cry to the moon for relief.

To love is to self destruct.


Remember how intense you wished to love.

To ride your clouds of vanity; Beauty finally got her Beast.

He (Beast) will pull your tooth and kiss the pain away.

He will invade your walls and steal your soul. Pity!


Now you know better;

To love is leave your doors open,

To watch your heart follow a stranger.

To love is a Risk.


Don't awaken love when you ain't ready.

-WHO IS THIS AFRICAN WOMAN-

-WHO IS THIS AFRICAN WOMAN- Who is  this  African  Woman? Don’t  muzzle the  ox,  which  thread  on  the field. The African  hope  deserves  hope. Blood  and  pain  for  the girl  of dark  skin.  Worthy  damsel  of blackness. Test  her worthiness  by  infibulating; Break  her softness  with  the cow  horn. Force  her maturity  in  streaming  tears  and  racking  pain. This  is  the African  woman. Who is  this  African  Woman? Mother of a continent,  yet  without  formal  content. Strip  her dignity  by  the brutal  thrusts  of masculine savagery. Helpless  and  hopeless,  confine  her  to  soothe. Eyes  breaming  with  smoke,  interlaced  with  tears ...

  OH!! NIGERIA: An INVOCATION to THE GOD of OUR FATHERS_ Chukwu Okike Abiama- the greatest deity of all time Your unquestionable existence we extol Our fathers, your faithful worshippers Must lie uneasy in their graves What dost thou behold  Through the atmospheric strata A people in darkness thicker than the bulrushes of _Igodo_ lake  Ocean mix of blood and tears Hail and wails of the destitute For greedy sons of Belial  Serving their bellies and not us Constrain our destiny This is the cause of your wrath Oh! hearken to our pleas born by the wind  Tribal bigotry plagues us  Like a rotten ulcer on the dorsum of a diabetic's foot  Our stench exposes us to carnivores Please, come to our rescue The die is now cast Strengthen us to reclaim our wastelands To rediscover the unity in WaZoBia May our unborn offspring not remember us for shame *Ise!!!!!

NOTHING TO WRITE

-
There is nothing to write; This mind is tired of any fight; It whispers rest it is night; But there is this feeling that something is not right. There is nothing to write; Yet the will is being stired for a fight; It counsels strike just at night; When it feels that things are just right. There is nothing  to write; Yet the pen swings left and then right; I use my thoughts to light up the night; Hopefully my draft brings end to all fight. There is really nothing to write; I hope the strokes are really all right; Sleep encourages me to lay still coz it's night; Tomorrow we would pick up a new fight. Good Night Hagia Sophia wrote
